Jesus Chris. This is like something out of a Pixar film. How the hell can it possibly be running in real time? It takes a hive of supercomputers working for hours to render those films, frame by frame. I don't understand how this is possible when

a. the game wasn't even designed for the PS4;
b. this could be running in 60fps and look just the same (yes - including the same shadow, as shadows of the main characters aren't affected); and
c. my PC has better specs than the PS4 and it can't handle graphics like this at stable framerates.

This reminds me of when Quake III came out on Dreamcast, 15 years ago, and it looked better, ran smoother and had less lag than with more powerful PCs and better internet connections. It didn't make sense then, and this doesn't really make sense now.

Don't forget it's a photo mode thread, people add lots of DOF to hide imperfections, using exotic camera angles etc, when you'll play the game on your PS4 it's gonna look great but not Pixar level like the impression you get from these shots, you will see lots of imperfections, not all textures will look good (still a PS3 game at base) and so forth, I bet you will probably believe your computer can run it as well :)

What I'm saying is not judge a game by its photo mode cause most of the time you wont see such fidelity, the proper way to do it is to go to gamersyde and DL high quality footage, than you will get a good sense of how it look most of the time during gameplay.
 
The character models alone make this more impressive than I originally expected although I had low expectations since I was going to buy it no matter what for the MP alone.

It still amazes me to think what we'll get from ND with Uncharted 4 with a game built solely for the PS4. What they did on the PS3 and FOR the PS3 was incredible and now they'll be stunning us once again with their PS4 games. TLOU's character models are alone are breath-taking.

Fucking ND. While people gossip about their departures, they'll continue to work and impress us in future games.

Thanks for the tough wallpaper decision with all these great screens guys!

I'm really impressed. It reminds me of a stop motion set. Feels like I can reach out and grab.

Yes. Exactly. This process is called tilt-shift. It's a photography technique that makes things that are supposed to be normal sized look like they are fake little models.

Check these out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk9EBOOAYiU, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XboAeIjcs2E, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHzOqe_g7vY

None of these are fake. They are ALL real.

How could we not all be watching! There's some really, really great stuff in this thread. I was in meetings all day but I talked to a few people going over some of our favorite shots so far. Keep it up -- I can't wait to see even more shots when Yurop kicks in.
 
Last three for the night. I need to turn off photo mode and just enjoy the game lol I've been stopping every few minutes to take more pictures

Display Stream Compression (DSC) is a terrible technology. It causes black screens and input lag.
